Account Type: If you only need to access the email from 1 device please use POP3. However if you want to access this email account on multiple devices (extra computers, mobile phone, laptop) then you will want to select IMAP.
Incoming mail server: This is where Outlook goes to get your emails. Please set this to mail.hostaway.net.au as per the example.
Outgoing mail server: This is where Outlook goes to send emails and should be set to match your ISP (Internet Service Provider) A list of common providers mail servers are listed below.
